Many individuals struggle with boundary styles in relationships, leading to dysfunction where one person may over-function and the other under-function. These disparities can result in criticism and harmful labels. The concept of balanced boundaries is essential, as boundaries act like emotional skin, requiring proper openness and protection. Both overly porous and overly rigid boundaries can be detrimental. The 'Animal Boundary Styles' concept helps explain and navigate these differences to foster healthier interactions.
Sometimes, we might find ourselves offering too much support or taking on too much responsibility for other people's emotional pain. This can lead to feelings of overwhelming or distraction from our own needs.
Boundaries are about balancing openness and protection. If our emotional skin doesn’t let nutrients and sunlight in, it could become dry.
